Etymology

[edit]

The ending recalls other sound words like ἄραδος (árados), κέλαδος (kélados) and ὅμαδος (hómados). According to Beekes, it is from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrem- (to resound, thunder, grumble, roar), the same root of χρεμετίζω (khremetízō, to whinny, neigh), χρόμος (khrómos, kind of noise), Proto-Germanic *grimmaz (grim, fierce) and Proto-Slavic *gromъ (thunder).
